So, you think anyone is going to be desperate enough to deal for Wallace this season? I don't think so, I think he'll be a Bull at least till his final year in his contract and then someone will pick him up for the cap space he'll create once his contract comes off the books.

The Bulls would have to pay a premium, but one positive is that his contract was front-loaded, which means from the original $60 million deal, he's owed $28.5 million over the next two seasons.

"Change is not always bad," Wallace said after Saturday's dismal 116-98 home loss to Houston. "If everybody wants to be here, we have to step it up."

The most obvious trade targets for the Bulls are New jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd and Memphis Grizzlies center Pau Gasol.
